Every now and then we need a helping hand. We are overrun with burdens, and have to have someone help us out. As Christians we at times get caught up in the it's gonna be OK stage. Then when it is self that has gone from that jelly into a jam we seem to forget about the sermon we have preached to the hurting soul that we told to get over it.
I do not boast of helping others, but I take great joy in being blessed to give a helping hand. If I may help someone with funds, or just give them an encouraging word, then it is a great feeling.
There are times when I do not hear God and He speaks through others. I am thankful for a God that loves me enough to bless me with love. If all He did was bear the cross that was love enough. But He has surrounded me with love, and renews it daily! For that I am thankful!
There are still good people in the world! There is a woman that is fasting on Thanksgiving, and giving the funds that she would have spent on a feast for herself to someone less fortunate. A man gave another man money when he barely had any to give. A young man stopped to help an elderly woman change a flat tire in the rain, because he has the love of Christ in his heart and not lust of satan in his heart.
Thanksgiving is bigger than self...
Peace, Blessings, and Joy... that real PB&J
